- crusty, hard, windAffected
Very wind affected in open areas with a hard crust forming that was difficult to penetrate. Tree areas and dense trees had more snow with pockets of crust.
Snowpack
In the trees snow was ok (powder-ish) with lots of areas of hard crust. On the ridge/wind affected areas it was completely hard crust (really poor conditions) very hard to skin without crampons. Ended up boot packing to the top.
